I'm back, I missed you all.
Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that
AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult.
I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?)

Its probably because my daily life is absolutely saturated with pointless suffering as the result of a biological accident but I really, really cannot abide anti trans humanist sentiment. Stupid death drive romanticism.

thank you for volunteering to the basilisk. we'll ask for your end to be merciful.
no matter what your position is, "the science is far from settled but we hardline that they're not people and DON'T DESERVE WELFARE is wrong" is fucking revolting to write about anything

This is why the concept and category of the "human" is not our fucking ally. Will never be our fucking ally.
When you fetishize the "human" as response to AI, you simply empower fascists to champion human-nationalism until boring plumbline veganism is "anti-human," to say nothing of trans folks.

on the one hand, you're right, this website is full of damn Puritans and there were people yesterday going as far as comparing her to Ghislaine Maxwell without any real evidence of anyone involved but Aella and other adult sex workers

You can try my base model in your browser at vibelet.tngl.sh/rwkv-hils/, it should run on most devices
If you want the weights and the python you can go to the hugging face repo huggingface.co/Vibelet/rwkv...
I'd apologize for the vibed readme, but it has what it needs to.

The biggest "anti-transhumanist" rally so far was in Italy and made up of:
1) TERFs
2) Neonazis
3) Catholics
4) Primitivists
That's what anti-transhumanism is. We can't afford to give an inch to the anti-"TESCREAL" cranks or politics that reify some "natural biological order." Fuck that.

I made this sticker during the 2016 election cycle and ordered a few hundred to put up. It was one of my riskiest stickering investments because even tho there I took joy in countering the demsocs, what were the odds people would even recognize the name of this random senator in a couple years?

it doesn’t matter how worthless you think the tech is, i can wholeheartedly assure you that you do not want to live in a world where anthropic and openai are the sole arbiters of who has accelerated learning, development, and production capabilities.

Open models are good enough. It’s time. Stand by your principles, if you have them.
So seeing as Anthropic/OpenAI/OpenRouter are giving support to omarchy that 1Password and DigitalOcean is, everyone is going to give them the same treatment and move away from them, right? right?

yeah i feel like there would be less of a trans consensus against dragging transphobic dems down with us if they had a credible plan to like reverse or confront any of the rot, they're still fifty years behind reps on media strategy ffs
lol liberals don't realize how much they've adopted nationalism and how much minorities have adopted nationalism in turn. everyone's quickly going to do a "if we burn you burn with us" attitude unless people get this shit together and have a damn spine to attack the right wing directly
stages of demographic dismissal:
1. minority votes in massive %s for your party
2. rival party attacks them directly to break this
3. party concedes to rival party to try and get rival party supporters
4. minority % support lowers
5. party labels the minority extremists or a cult to blame minority

The fact that all this shit is happening (AI will END THE WORLD, this crap, etc.) at the same time that it got announced that a lot of major enterprise institutions are transitioning to far cheaper open source models is not particularly coincidental.
lol two months ago OpenAI was signing a letter about how important open weights models were and now their house propagandist is saying “we will ban open weights and you will thank us for it”. You can’t hate this company enough

if it looked like everyone on the planet agreed to pause AI development, it would mean that it's still being developed, just by clandestine operations from state actors kept secret by NDAs enforced through car bombs
